Sam Seidenberg

Simply amazing!! Sam is so experienced and knowledgeable of the land, all sorts of facts and stories of the flora and fauna along the hike. An easy going guy, great conversationalist and extremely professional! Can’t say though good things about this unique experience that exceeds all expectations. He’s also a talented artisan at the Cuyama Buckhorn bar, makes sure to try one of his drinks after the hike!

Amazing experience

Unforgettable experience! Sam Seidenberg, your host for the trip, truly makes this a remarkable and unforgettable experience! It's been 2 weeks and me, my 7 year old daughter and German husband are still thinking and talking about the hike, the goats, the Yucca trees, the mocktails he made us - it's really an exceptional experience! Sam is chock full of knowledge about Cuyama and shares the spirit of the valley and forests with his energy, care for the goats, creative ideas, gratitude, lust for nature and life. It's a hike you will not forget. He's like an encyclopedia! Better than a recording. ;-) He tailors the hike to each group he works with so no worries if you're not a big hiker or have a hip replacement like me. You won't regret it! I think we're now thinking of getting goats just because of this experience with Sam and his goats.

The trip was a trip! Sam and his 3 pack goats led us through the wonderful unique trails, as we learned alot about the history of the area and other fun facts along the way. His bartender skills on the trail are pretty epic as well. I highly recommend this unique, memory-making trip for couples and families!

We had a blast hiking the beautiful hills of New Cuyama with pack goats. Our guide, Sam, told us about the history of the area and taught us about the many uses of the local foliage. We look forward to visiting again for another hike and a great meal at the Cuyama Buckboard.
